Victoria 1869 penny.

[Danelaw 208]

Had this up from the river today. Is it worth putting on e bay? What price should I aim for?

[azda 973]

Vorredend but still a lot of derail. Maybe £300-£400

I'm an esquire of Voldemort rather than Vorredend, so I'd naturally say that Dave is overestimating quite a bit here Seriously, it ought to fetch up to a couple of hundred IMO.

[Accumulator 52]

You might get £200, but I doubt any more. As Peckris says, plenty of detail remaining.

[Peter 615]

Reverse is better.It is in a grade where it could bomb either way.

[1949threepence 3,366]

Some quite good detail, but looks heavily pitted.

Somewhere between £175 and £250, maybe ~ depending on the mood of bidders at the time.

If you do a BIN, I'd go for £200.

Whatever you do, don't set a high starting price to an auction, or you'll have difficulty shifting it.

With the detail remaining and with eBay being a funny old place i'm still going with my estimate. P.s, excuse the aye phone spelling, god knows what volder whatever was supposed to mean. Send a link when you List it so we can have a watch at the fun

I'd also wait until the 3rd week of January, people tend to get paid on the 4th week, so more people may have a punt. I'd go for auction listing. Spink 2013 has this at 450 quid in VF

Judging by the V and C being adjacent keys, could you have meant "corroded" Dave? (Heaven only knows what the predictive text thought it was coming up with ) Certainly that obverse is heavily pitted.

"Vorredend" is a German word, Peck. It means something like inventing a story to cover something that has happened.

There are certain countries where buyers always (it seems) pull a fast one with claims of non-arrival. There are people here who would tell which countries to specifically avoid, and you would also do well to insist on tracked postage in all cases.

Is this the service eBay charge an extra fee for now (10p I think?)? I tried this for a couple of month's about 9 months ago (about 140 BIN&BO in total over the 2 months), and didn't find any difference in sales. Have you had a better experience with it?
